THOSE WHO RUN MAY REAL).----GLASGOW:-- One of Messrs. Lyon; Croat, and Co.'s coaches, the Enterprise, arrived here • on Wednesday evening, at half-past nine, brilliantly lighted the whole wiry from Edinburgh with portable gas, sup— plied by the Portable Gas Company, of the latter city ; and she left this again yesterday at four o'clock, for Edinburgh, lighted in the same manner. This is the first coach that has been lighted with gas in Siotland ; and as it has had the desired effect, the proprietors intend having it more completely fitted up, the present trial having been by way of experiment.-- Okegow Chronicle. DA it K NESS.—Yesterday was one of the darkest days which has been witnessed in Glasgow for many years. For several hours during the middle part of the.day the darkness was so great that candles, and gas when it could be obtained, were lighted in our Exchange Rooms, and in every shop and counting house in tle city. The atmosphere was cloudy and calm, with drizzling rain. The barometer, which had been gradually rising for several days preceding, stood at 30. 3. Such phenomena at this season of the year, are very frequently the precursors of settled frosty weather.--- Glasgow Paper. Du NKELD, Dxc. 21.—One of the moat' deplorable accidents that ever happened in this quarter, occurred last night. As the Caledonian coach was coming down•the brae a little above Putney, near the place called Duncan Hog's Hole, the hook or tackle in front of the pole gave way, and the horses ran off. The coach, from the want of the pole, became unmanageable. A per son of the name of W. Robertson, a painter, who war sitting be side the coachman, laid hold of the reins next him. This had the effeet of drawing the horses ten suddenly to one side, and the coach.nput. Poor Robertson fell on a dyke on the side of the rain!, a stone piercing his forehead above the right eye, lie was killed on the spot. Donald M'lntosh, the guard, who was on the back dicky, was also thrown on the dyke, and had his skull frac tured so dreadfully that he died to-day. He hail been connected with the coach for these Mae years, and has left a wife, and several children. Robertson is generally regretted. Several of the pas sengors were hurt, one lady severely. Au investigation into the circumstances that led to this melancholy catastrophe has been partly gone into to-slay, and so far as it lumprocceded, has been in favour of the driver..-- Caledonian Mercury.

LOCH ETTRICK. Loch Ettrick has been long celebrated for its many wonders, and chaunted in many a lay for its picturesque appearance. But neither celebrity nor song has given it that immortality which it gained it few nights ago. Those, who are acquainted with the parish of Closebutn, will know that an embankment was made several years since on the southern extremity of the Loeb, for the ptirpose of having a constant supply of water for -ths.machinery, at Closeburn Litrp.workr. On the evening of Wednesday sten night, about seven o'clock, the embankment gave way, and an fin mense body of water rushed down the glen, sweeping all before it. The loth covers an area of fintrteen acres, and at that time, had an average depth of seven feet of water pressing against the enibinkment; so that, when an outlet wee forced, 197,000 cubic yard* of water, in the space of four minutes, issued from the loch. Its course was at first much inclined, and tharefrre very rapid— tearing up,' and sweeping away the heathery turf; the till, and frvein the very rocks ; some of the rocks were thirty and forty stones in weight, and such was the torrent's power, that they seemed like very feathers in this awful rush of waters; dikes, and projecting pieces of ground twenty fret in height, were !tietfectual barriers.• They tied before it, for devastation was i t ,, tarch.• After a course of one mile, it reached 44vc/iy rait's .1,444_011kb is very strait and crooked, and then its wrath increased. The lieu is about one hundred feet deep, and in some places uot more than SO feet wide. The chasm could nut enutinn the torrent, and adown it, it roared anti gurgled, crested with many a wreath, of spray, sweeping over the upland in long and loud sounding billows. With the tone and majestic sound thereof the trees shook with sad affright.—the groom, trews bled; as if under an earthquake's throe—and the glen echoed, in a full a n d d e ep-toned spies!, Ae angry and blustering vociferation* of the unbridled torrent. The Whole valley heard the unearthly sound, and, though full of terror .end dismay to the bleating sheep, was the harbinger of weal to the inhlklanis around. TwO or three houses stand at the opening of the glen ; pRtl fortunately for the in-dwellers, a joiner, who at present resides In one of there, was out of doors at the time; hearing the sound , r t e ra n in, ,anti. alarmed the others. The father was then seen running front iiestructian with his children in his arms, and the mother with the lisping babe at her Ineast : they all narrowly escaped. death, ik - Wadlng through an are: of the torrent, which came reund The east end of the house—a moment longer, anti they would have , berome . the - playthings of the flood; out of danger, they stood nn the hill side, anti, in silent horror, eyed a 4A•ewiful and destructive, yet a sublime and gloriene Beene. The torrent struck the byre, which contained three cows' and two swine, and swept them all sway ; the roof gloated down the Read for twenty yards; the swine and one cow, in some way, got safely out ; but the other two fell victims. A hay-titaek and hail-yard wart 41g0 car ried off, of which no vestige is to be wen. The dwelling-iionse was:saved, by having a milk-house built to its back, which w a rd. frd off the strength of the current. - - _ great was the torrent's velocity, and so short its duration, that though eight, feet deep on the outside of the house, the water wi l e on ly one foot deep within.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Journal des Debars.) PARIS, DEC. 24.—We have before observed how much it is to be regretted, that, in the important circumstances of the moment, the speeches in the Chamber of Peers have not been printed. Hence the misinterpretations which every body more or less informed has given of these speeches. What particularly distinguishes the policy of M. tie Chateanbriand in the Tribune, is a mixture of- constitu tional and chivalrous ideas, which particularly sympathise with the national character, but which, separated from each other, are liable to objections, and do not thew the whole man. Thus, for instane' -ovi the same speech in which the Noble Peer seems to doubt whether the easus firderis was arrived for England, we think, we are sure, that there exists a passage on the Portuguese Charter, conceived nearly in the following terms : " I shall never recognize in soldiers the right to make awl to destroy political institutions—to proclaim and to overthrow Kings. I like the Portuguese Charter better than the English Ministers themselves, who speak of it almost with derision, and who have thought tit to recal Sir Charles Stuart from his mission for baying conveyed this Charter to Lisbon. I think that independence supports independence—that one free people is a guarantee for another free people. I think that a generous Constitution cannot be overthrown, in any part of the world, without striking a blow at the whole human race." It is impossible to speak with more frankness and elevation. (From the Quotidienne of Mon*, Dec. 26.) PARIS, DEC. 24.—Nobody any longer doubts of the importance of the events in Portugal. The same journals which pretended that the enterprize of the Marquis of Chaves was only an intrigue, begin to perceive how ridi, culous this expression is. We now see them obliged to confess the extraordinary progress of the Portuguese Royalists, and the no less rapid defection► of the English party at Lisbon. Every day, every moment, brings us nearer to the de nouement of a drama, which is less surprising on ac count of the scenes whi ch it has presented, than for the im mensity of its results. We said yesterday, after the letters of our Correspond ents, that the Royalist division of the Province of Tras-os- Montes, after the taking of Braga, had resolved to leave Oporto, in order to advance more rapidly against Coimbra. What may have given rise to this account, which we have repeated, is, the occupation (now very certain) of Coimbra, which took place on the 11th or 12th of December; but letters, written on the 15th on the frontiers of Portugal, affirm that at the same time the Marquess of Chaves had entered Oporto, the inhabitants of which came out to meet him, after the embarkation of the Enghalt, who were in the city. According to these letters, the occupation of Oporto had taken place without bloodshed—all parties being agreed to prevent the arrival of the British troops, and to hinder them from taking possession of the forts. However, it is affirmed that the populace had plundered several houses, formerly inhabited by the English, who have fled. Since Oporto and Coimbra have at the same time ac knowledged the authority of the Infant Don Miguel, it is evident that it was not the column of the Marquess of Chaves which entered the latter ; it is probable, therefore, that it is the column of the Marquess de Monteleagre, coming by way of Lamego, or that of Brigadier Magessi, coming from Abrantes, which has taken possession of Coimbra, unless that city, as letters from Madrid of the 18th affirm, had, of its own accord'," deelared for the Royalists before their arrival. The -saint: letters from Madrid say, that the Queen-Motlier' was expected at Coimbra, where the new liegenettortt the Jan►ta at Go vernment will be provisionally esfablished. Thus, on the 12th December, Oohnbra and Oporto, the two most important cities in Portugal after Lisbon, no longer recognise the autho r ity of th e R egenc y, and the latter had no army to reduce them to obedience; nay, more, the Regency itself was menaced in Lisbon, where the exasperation of the people and the anxiety, of the Go vernment were at the height; it is, therefore, not impos sible, that at the time the English e x p e di t i on sa il e d from Portsmouth--that is to say, on the 20th December—the capital of Portugal had thrown off the yoke of England, and effected the overthrow of the Constitution. In this case, the English expedition would not be able to land, either at Oporto or Lisbon. Besides, this armada, on which the Cabinet of St. James's depends so much to re tain Portugal under its domination, has sailed in the most unfavourable season of the year. The nights are long, and the days obscured by fogs. The vessels will be obliged frequently to bring- up, which will protract the voyage ; there is, besides every appearance that the wind is not fa vourable ; who knows if the expedition will not be obliged to put into some port on the way ? Mr. Canning having compared himself to the God of the Winds, it would not be surprising if the true rEolui, jealous of this kind of usurpation, should open his bags to disperse the English vessels, were it only to display his power, and cause his legitimacy to be recognised. (From the Jourtial de Paris.) P44NtirpßT ON THE ODER, DEC. 17.--(Private Let ter).--Letters from several merchants at Pera, state that the steps taken by the Ambassadors of the Great Powers to terminate t h e affairs of Greece, begin to be so active as to give a hope that this important negociation win end satisfactorily. 111spain, DEc. 14.—(From a Private Letter).—Twa extraordinary couriers came to the English Legation—one yesterday, the Wher the day before. Since that time, the negociatlons have resumed; the activity has been sus pended since the end of last month; and if we may be lieve the reports that have been spread since the arrival of these pullers, it should seem that we shall soon see the end of the differences, which, since the invasion of the Portuguese refugees, have divided Spain, .England, and Portugal. By the English Journals brought by these couriers, we are made gevainted with the message of the King of England to the Parliament, Mr. Cunning's speech, and the preparations making to send troops to Portugal; but all this, far from producing an unfavonrable sensation, has tended to convince everybody that the friendly relations between the three countries will not be interrupted. On the other hand, it is affirmed, that the instructions re ceived by 'Mr. !..finb, by those couriers, enjoin him to commence fresh negotiations, to induce our Government to make same agreement with our ancient Colonies. In all tlie negotiations relative to Portugal, I think Mr. Lamb will succeed; but as for the Colonies, however s kilful this negarisor rpsq be, I do not believe that he can flatter himself with the hope of success, PORTUGAL.

A Report was expected on the Project of Law relative to the Portuguese emigrants ; but the Sitting confined it self to the adopting some articles of the Regulation. SITTING OF THE 12m. The discussion of the Regulation is resumed. A Secretary reads the Message of the Minister of War, who, agreeably to the orders of the Princess Regent, pro posed to decree that the wives and daughters of the sol diers who have, or should be killed, in th e d e pl ora bl e war , stirred up by rebels, should continue to receive their pay on the peace footing; this disposition being applicable to the Subaltern Officers of the second and third lines, as if they were of the first. _ _ • The urgency is decreed, and the Report fixed for the following Sitting. Don Francisco Manuel Trigozo (le Maguo Morato an nounces that the Princess Regent has named him Coun sellor of State for life. M. Cordeiro demands that the new Counsellor of State shall no longer continue to sit in the Chamber of De puties. MINISTRY OF WAR. The Count de Taypa, who quitted his seat in the Chamber of Peers, to fight under the orders of the Count de Villaeor, has distinguished himself already in a charge of cavalry. General Azeredo, in a dispatch (in arrear), writes from Torridello, that in consequence of the insurrec tion which has broken out at Lamego, at the instigation of Colonel Mallo-Pitta-Ozorio, revolt has manifested itself also at Viseu.—Francozo remained faithful, notwithstand ing the revolt of some militia. Count Alva has transmitted to the Princess Regent, letters written to him by the Captain General of Anda lusia, and the Governor of Ayamonte, announcing that, agreeably to the orders of their Government, they are ready to deliver to him the arms and equipments belonging to the deserters of the 14th Regiment of Por tuguese Infantry and the 4th of Masseurs. The Count Alva has named two officers to receive these objects. The Commandant of Lower Beira writes from Castel Branco, that the rebels have appeared in force on that frontier, in the neighbourhood of Valverde and Penarnalor; every effort will be made to repulse them. The Commandant of Upper Beira informs the Ministry, that the Ex-Lieutenant-Colonel of the Regiment of Fran cozo has entered at Castel-Rodrigo, where he maltreated the Judge of Fora, pillaged the public chest, and set free the prisoners. From thence he took the direction of Al mendm. The revolt broke out at Villa Nova de Fax-era; it wal repressed by a detachment of 6th infantry. Don Antonio d'Aievedo, Governor of Abrantes, writes of the date of the 4th, that he hastens to pat that place in a state of defence. The rebels of Algarve passed the Guadiana the 7th, and took the direction of Terena. They afterwards made a flank march on Saint Antonio tie Terruge, in the direc tion of Monforte.' POLICE ORDONNANCE. Don Rodrigues de Bastos, Intendant-General of the Police of the Kingdom, caused to be posted up, on the 12th, the following Ordonnance " Considering the abuse which has recently been made of assemblages, and the necessity of renewing the ancient laws, for the maintenance of the public tranquillity, in cessantly compromised by she beat of parties, it is ordered as follows " Every popular meeting or assemblage in the streets or places of the capital, or any other town, Which has not for object a market or religious ceremony, is rigorously pro hibited, both by night and by day. " The civic rounds and military patrols shall disperse these assemblages. Every individual resisting shall be ar rested, and punished according to the rigour of the laws. " Every individual, who either within or without the assemblages,. shall insult or provoke other persons, on ac count of the difference of opinions, shall be seized and de livered over to justice. . " The Constitutional Government is a government of order, moderation, and equity; its only enemies are not those who attack it with arms in their hands ; but also all those who, declaring themselves its frenzied detractors, °lts most zealous defenders, cause suspicion and distrust, and destroy the union which is so desirable in great crisis. Pants, DEC. 26.—The Austrian Observer of the 16th December gives the direct lie to the Quotidienne of the 7th, which declared, that it had received a. letter from a very important personage at Vienna, in which it was stated that the news of Don Miguel taking the oath to the Con stitution was false, that the Prince had loaded with re proaches the Ambassador of th e C ortes , an d t h at M . de Metternich began to see that it mi ght be useful to th e Continental Powers to concede th e Infant Don Miguel, to the wishes of his people, Sic." To give the lie to this article, it is sufficient, says the Observer, to present the following facts : " The Infant Don Miguel, on the 4th of October, took the oath before the Ambassador Extraordinary of Portu gal, Baron de Villa Seca, to his august brother and Sove reign Don Pedro, Emperor of Brazil and King of Portu gal; and, on the 29th of the same month, after the arrival of the Dispensation from Rome, were solemnly celebrated the promise of marriage (fianeailles) of the Infant with her Majesty the Queen of Portugal, Donna Maria, in equal conformity with the will of the Emperor of Brazil and King of Portugal. There is no mention in all the letters of the* 18th, ar rived from Lisbon, of the taking of Coimbra, or of that of Oporto. They were expecting from the 18th to the 19th, at Lisbon, the first English t roo p s . I t i s t h e l atest embarkation which left Portsmonth only on the 20th. At Madrid, on the 18th, it was believed that the Por tugese Government had been recognised by the Spanish Government. HIGH WATER AT LONDI Morning 1$ minutes after 2. SAT BRIDGE TO-MORROW.

We received last night, in usual course, the Paris Papers of Monday, (with the exception of an Etoile, which does not appear to have been published that evening,) and we have this morning received by ex press the Etoile of Tuesday evening, dated yesterday morning. The contents of these papers are exceedingly important, not only as containing accounts of the increasing extent of the insurrection in Portugal against the Constitutional Government, and the ad vances made by the Royalists in all directions ; but likewise as putting us in possession of communications from Lisbon to the 18th inst. of high interest. The Quotidienne of Monday contradicts its former assertion, that the division of the Royalists, under the Marquis de CHAVES, had entered Coimbra on the 12th, stating, that it appears that the Marquis actually took possession of Oporto on that day, and that it must have therefore been the corps under the Marquis ale IVIONTALEAORE, which had occupied Coimbra. It states further, that the Regency itself was menaced in Lisbon, where the exasperation of the people, and the anxiety of the Government, were at their height and it indulges in speculations, that, on the 20th Dec., the capital of Portugal had thrown off the yoke of England, and effected the overthrow of the Consti-1 tution, in which case the British expedition would not be able to land. The letters in the Etoile, from Lisbon to the 18th inst., however, do liot mention the occupation of either Oporto or Lisbon, and therefore we trust the. intelli gence in the Quotidienne may prove to be incorrect. Lisbon itself, indeed, appears to be in a most unsettled state. An Order of the Intendant-General of Police, o►► the 12th, prohibited all assemblages of people, on account of the violence of party feeling ; and directed their dispprsion by force. _ _ The Etoile contains extracts from the Speech of the Count de VILLA REAL, late Ambassador from Portugal at the Court of Madrid, in the Chamber of Peers on the 4th instant. He distinctly charges all the Ambassadors of other Foreign Powers with an understanding with Spain till the last. After alluding to accounts which had reached him of the plans of the rebels, he says—" I applied again to the Foreign Am bassadors ; but I remarked iu their speeches a con stant regard for the party which is still dominant in Spain, and the regret that they were without positive instructions." Alluding to the communication of the taking of the Oath by Dow MIGUEL to the Constitution, he says— " I endeavoured to draw verbal explanations from the Foreign Ministers. But far from adopting the considerations that I sought to give ellen to, they answered that as the Portuguese Government refused to rely on the promises of Spain, they could not ab stain from considering it (Portugal) as the aggressor. " I heard that the Court of Madrid had been offi cially instructed as to the betrothal of the Infant DON MIGUEL. " I availed myself of this fact, to demand a categori cal answer ; it was still evasive, and I resolved to de part. I knew positively that the Minister of Eng land continued to take the same steps I had taken. " The rebels invaded our territory on the 2Sd November ; the Madrid Cabinet was informed on the 26th ; and it was then only that it declared the Por tuguese deserters should not be admitted into Spain. " The invasion of Portugal is an offence towards France and England; towards the former, because undertaken in presence of a French array ; and to wards the latter, because it is in manifest contempt of its counsels and its menaces." We must refer our readers to the long extracts from these Papers, which from their important nature we have inserted in a preceding column.

It is necessary that Mr. Canning should know that we wish for peace—that we will endeavour to maintain peace —but that we do not fear war ; and that, in short, there ere no longer any malcontents among us when a question arises of avenging the honour of the country. Honour is a stsm• dard which will always in France produce a union of all opinions. " Convinced that every man who is a friend of the 0 0 1 of the Bourbons—that every man who is a friend of legiti• macy, of the Charter, and of national liberties—that every Man, in short, who has pride, who has honour in his heart, and French blood in his veins, cannot but think .as I do, I confidently submit to the bureau of the committee a proposition dictated by grief and patriotism." Dutch Papers of the 23d inst. have been receives this morning. Under the head of Brussels, it a ppears that a Cabinet Messenger from Madrid had passed through that city for St. Petersburgh, to solicit the good offices of the Emperor NICHOLAS in the affairs of Spain,—that is, that the Emperor may be pleased to put right what the worthy FIRDIN AND has purposely put wrong ! Unfortunately for both parties, the one is too far off to render any effective assistance, and the other is too obstinate to receive it. The sickness in Holland is still very alarming : • BRUSSILI4 D=c.
